Special Counsel Robert Mueller's office said Friday that a grand jury indicted 13 Russian nationals and three Russian entities for alleged interference in the 2016 presidential elections, during which they boosted the candidacy of Donald Trump.

The indictment says that the defendants by early to mid-2016 were "supporting the presidential campaign of then-candidate Donald J. Trump ... and disparaging Hillary Clinton."

The indictment said "the organization," known as the Internet Research Agency LLC, "sought, in part, to conduct what it called 'information warfare against the United States of America' through fictitious U.S. personas on social media platforms and other Internet-based media."

"By in or around May 2014, the organization's strategy included interfering with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, with the stated goal of "spread[ing] distrust towards the candidates and the political system in general," the indictment said.

An announcement from Mueller's office said that the government accuses all the defendants of conspiracy to defraud the United States.
Three defendants are charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud and bank fraud.

Five defendants are charged with aggravated identity theft.

Well from what I'm seeing here, it's what we already knew, that they would create "fake news" on facebook and whatnot to make everyone hate Hillary.

they'll strike plea deals like everyone else Mueller has gone after so far aside from Manafort. that's how investigations work -- you go after the little fish and get them to turn on the big ones.

Ah yea, it WAS the facebook ads group:
http://money.cnn.com/2017/11/01/media/russian-facebook-ads-release-house-intelligence-committee/index.html

Here are some of the ads they ran:
A Russian-run page entitled "Donald Trump America" called for "disqualification and removal of Hillary Clinton from the presidential ballot" and ran an ad linking to the White House's crowdsourced petition site, on which there was a petition that claimed the "dynastic succession of the Clinton family in American politics breaches the core democratic principles laid out by our Founding Fathers."

The Internet Research Agency ran several pages designed to look like they were part of the Black Lives Matter movement.

One ad encouraging Facebook users to like one of those pages, "Black Matters." The ad featured pictures of African-American people shot by police, and contained the message, "Join us because we care."

One ad promoted a "Support Hillary - Save American Muslims" event that was set for outside the White House on July 9, 2016.

On the morning after Election Day 2016, the Russian page "Black Matters," which was designed to look like a black activist group, began promoting a "Trump is NOT my president" event, to take place at New York City's Union Square.

On October 19th, 2016, a meme appearing to show Satan and Jesus Christ arm wrestling was posted on the Russian page "Army of Jesus." The post accompanying the image read in part, "Hillary is a Satan.. And even though Donald Trump isn't a saint by any means, he's at least an honest man and he cares deeply for this country. My vote goes for him!"

I post a lot about Trump that doesn't make him look good. Regardless, this is not involving Trump. It's about Russians shitposting on the internet in favor of him.

Rosenstein talking about how the Russians were setting up dual pro and anti Trump rallies in order to inflame American partisan politics. (it worked)

Bold strategy by Trump to have them set up anti-Trump rallies so that he looks less suspicious.

This investigation has never been directly about Trump, its about foreign interference in our elections. But politically motivated parties have to grandstand and turn it into an issue it isnt, making it out to be like some sort of Presidential witch hunt.

"He said he didn't meddle. He said he didn't meddle. I asked him again. You can only ask so many times," Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew from Da Nang to Hanoi in Vietnam. Trump spoke to Putin three times on the sidelines of summit here, where the Russia meddling issue arose.
"Every time he sees me, he says, 'I didn't do that,' " Trump said. "And I believe, I really believe, that when he tells me that, he means it."
